It's almost hard to say this book is a stereotypical book about prejudice and stereotypes because as a millennial I don't and can't pretend to understand the value differences in the early 1900's, but I wasn't blown away by the topic. What I really enjoyed was the true descriptions and insight the author gave regarding Canada. The characters are well developed and the love story was very cinematic. My favourite quote from the book was, "Manchester itself is a tribute to the Canadian talent for choosing a remarkably fine natural setting for a town, and then proceeding to ruin it as far as possible." Besides Montreal, in which the story takes place, ths is mostly true!Beautiful story that provides an argument for the need to make change instead of wait for others to make it for you. Empowering, insightful and well-written. I couldn't put it down.
